The fun fact: the original
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroe_Doctrine
was more about opposing European colonialism in 19th century, than about establishing North American dominance. USA of the early 19th century could be considered the leader of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Aligned_Movement of their era...

The problem was, that we were the baddies in 19th century, mostly (We = Europe). But still, British Empire managed to abolish slavery in 1833, which means, that even baddies sometimes get certain things right.

Anyway, I appreciate discussing #history with people, who may know something about it. It is complicated, if we should discuss in English or trust our built in DeepL machine translator. I have to rotate expired DeepL tokens way too often on our little instance, and I really don't mind practicing English conversation on more complex topics, than just Chinese eshop check-outs...
